THE GOVERNORS VISIT.
Completed for His
Reception.

A large number of the representa-
tive men of the city assembled at the
Council chambers yesterday to perfect
arrangements for the reception of Gov
ernor Waterman upon his arrival here
next Tuesday.
Mayor Workman, who presided,
called the meeting to order and briefly
stated its object, Capt. Seamans being
upon motion appointed secretary.
Captain Seamans, the chairman of
committee on arrangements, stated
that he had been delegated to take
such action in the matter of arrange
ments as he deemed best, and he had
accordingly outlined a programme for
the day which he thought appropri-
ate.
He further stated that no fund had
been provided for defraying the ex-
penses of those who were to escort the
Governor rom the depot and also to
meet current expenses.
Much discussion was elected as to
whether the Governor should be es-
corted from the depot by the militia
or not, it being deemed inadvisable to
bring in any outside companies as the
two companies now here would prove
ample escort.
On motion of Colonel Morford it
was ordered that the details of the es-
cort be left to the Brigadier-General,
with full power to act.
The remainder of the programme
was then approved.
On motion of Captain Seamans, a
finance committee, consisting of Gen
eral Briefly. Colonel Morford and j.
w. Green, was appointed to provide
funds for defraying the incidental ex-
penses of the reception.
The programme Of the day as ar
ranged by Captain Seamans is as fol-
lows:
First-A select committee of five,
to be appointed by the Mayor and
headed by him, to meet the Governor
on the train.
Second-Upon arrival in Los An
geles the Governor will be'received at
the depot by the Reception Committee
and escorted by them and the Nation
al Guard with the Seventh Infantry
Band to the hotel.
Third-Public reception at the hotel
to the citizens generally with ladies
from z 80 to 9P. NJ.
Fourth-At 8 A. NJ. a banquet to the
Governor presided over by his Honor
the Mayor.
Admission by invitation cards. The
details to be arranged by the Banquet
Committee.
The name of r. F. Del Vale was
omitted from the printed list of the
banquet committee and the names of
]. W. Green and j. 4. Toberman were
also omitted from the list of the re-
ception committee as reported in the
papers.
1t was stated that the Governor
will arrive Tuesday morning and
remain over night, departing the next
day, visiting San Bernardino and 9TH
er points enroute home.
The object of his visit is simply to
become acquainted with his constit-
uents in this section and inspect the
Southern metropolis.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Now that the Montana legislature has
begun business and promises to transact
u considerable amount of needed legisla-
ton, we would most respectfully call its
attention to the large number Of inefi-
cient, defective and conference.-the laws
now existing upon the statute books of
this territory. Some have existed in
their present condition for wears, while
many were added thereto by the lament
ed cowboy legislature Of 1885. For in
stance, in the salary law, the treasurer
is authorized to employ a deputy at 500
a month, and in the next clause is for
hidden to employ an assistant and pay
such deputy from public moneys. This
is only one glaring and confusing mac
curacy, but the whole law and many
others are of the same character. Now,
icappears to us as if it would be wise
for the present legislature to provide an
appropriation for the purpose of codify'
ing the existing laws and that a compe.
tent man or a committee of lei be en-
powered to change the p~hraseology Of
these laws 80 that q person of ordinary
intelligence can understand their mean
ing; and that there can be no doubt as ia
their intent and purpose. No two law.
yers construe the language of the stat.
utes alike, and in consequence much use.
less and expensive legislation ensues.

Mccain Released.

Attorney Haldorn went to Helena
last week and argued McCann's case
before the Supreme Court; as a result
the Independent give the following
account:-"One of the most interesting
cases of the term was that of the Terri
tory, ex.rel Owen j. Mccain, VS.. the
Sheriff of Gallatin county, presented yes
terday by Geo. Haldorn, attorney for
the relator. Mccain was an cratic
ranchman of the Gallatin valley, VINO
seemed to have been a monomgpiac IN
the subject of women, and had conceived
a passion for the daughter of Nelson
Story, the Bozeman millionaire. Under
taking to force his attentions upon the
young lady he was elected from the
Story residence by the pater familias
and drew a gun with which to resist.
Mrs. Story came to the rescue with a
shotgun, and a harmless engagement
ensued. Mccain was then arrested on
the charge of insanity and examined
according to statute before the probate
judge and a jury of three, Upon his
person was found a letter to A'Donoyan
Rosa, and a senseless letter to the New
York Times, with humorous comments
thereon by the editor. McCann was
committed to Warm Spring asylum.
Mr.. Haldorn then procured a writ of
habeas corpus from Judge McLeary, but
upon its return Mccain was demanded
but upon the understanding that the
case should be taken before the supreme
court for adjudication. The case was
argued yesterday afternoon, no brief
being presented by respondent. The
result was an order for McCanu's dis.
charge. The principal ground of argu.
ment was that the law as to insanity is
unconstitutional l n that the commitment
under it is not according to due process
OF law, as it permits any man to lie de.
prlved of his liberty upon the verdict of
three jurymen, all of whom are peremp.

Said for Gen. Miles.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Jan. 8.
Despite the explanation of the secre-
tary, the friends of Gen. Miles are very
unhappy over his treatment by certain
o~ficials of the war department for his
management of the Apache campaign.
They claim that there was really no
ground for criticism or censure, and that
whatever i'll feeling exists has been caus-
ed and kept alive by certain high ofici-
ais, who are inspired with pure envy
and wish to deprive Miles of his we'll
earned laurels. Gen. Miles, they say,
did not receive the instructions which
are said to have been violated until after
an agreement had been entered into
with Geronimo; and since they provided
that the lives of the hostiles should be
spared, the orders were practically
carried out, and that it was the only wise
and sensible settlement of the difficulty.
1t is denied that after Cooks failure the
president selected Miles to make an end
of the Apache trouble, and this having
been done he had no further use for that
officer and left him to the tender mercies
of the officials of the war department,
who have maligned him and put him in
a false position with the secretary. The
interview with the secretary will proba-
ably put a question on the matter, for a
time, but no love is lost between the
parties, and the controversy may be
renewed at a future date.

"BOZeman."

At the last session of the City Council,
Mr.. ]. M. Lindley, with the interest Of
the city and county solely at heart, re-
quested that the city fathers, ~pecuniarl-
ly assist in the publication ofa pamphlet
describing Bozeman and the Gallatin
Valley. Mr.. Lindley called the Counv.."s
attention to the fiatering notice ola book
recently issued from the CHRONICLE
press. He said it was the intention of
Mr.. Walter Cooper and himself to issue
another book which should include the
matter already published in 500 pamph-
lets and to add many other necessary
articles of interest to capitalists thereto.
He then read the following endorse
ments of the work already published.

An Unfair Criticism.

Our attention is frequently called to
the unfair and ungenerous treatment of
the Billings, Clarke's Fork & Cook City
railroad scheme by the journals in Gal
latin. and Lewis and Clarke counties.
The journals of Bozeman and Livingston
were 80 strongly interested in the CHINA
bar 4 Clarke's Fork scheme, which has
died a natural death. that perhaps it
would be too much to expect of them as
yet. to say a good word for the only
practical route via Clarke's Fork. Yet
their position shows that they have no
wish for the development Of the New
World mining district, unless Bozeman
and Livingston al gobble all the trade
from it. which they never can. But 1t is
different with our esteemed contem-
porary, the Helena Independent. As a
leading journal of territorial influence
and circulation, not representing any
particular locality, but Montana in gen
eral, the Independent has no business
with m petty local i~ealousies that be-
long to other counties .-Gazette.

The eyes of the whole country are
focused upon the action of congress upon
the interstate commerce bill. This bill
presents a square issue between the mil
lions Of producers and consumers on the
One side and the greedy railroad cormo
rants on the other. 1t is not proposed
in this bill to forbid the railway CON-
panies from charging more per mile for
a short haul than for a long one. People
expect to buy at wholesale for less than
at retail. The long and short of the long
and short haul provision is just this. No
railroad company shall charge more dol
lars for carrying a ton of freight hal.
the distance, than is charged for carry
ing the same ton of freight the whole
distance. As much as $500 q carload has
been charged for freight to Nevada from
's1ecasts,w ehf-tiesffe t-urrtheMmt
through to Sacramento from the SAINT
point east was only $500.

BURIED ALIVE.
Two Cooke City Miners Meet Death I'M
Snow Slide.

Editor of the Chronicle:
Cooke City, Montana, Jan. 4, 1887.
A sad accident occurred here on New
Years day, which has cast a shadow Of
gloom over the small population which
exists here. Most all the boys, number
ing about nine or ten, came to town to
spend Christmas, from the saltwater
country, where the Republic Mining Co.
has had a crew of men at work for the
past two months. After spending a
pleasant time in town, they all jour-
neyed back, arriving two days before
New Years. On New Years morning q
snow slide came down the gulch where
they were working, and covered up the
mouth of the tunnel. A small opening
was made at the top, so as to get the
men out, and it was proposed after din
ner that two men should work on the
outside, so as to shovel away the snow
that was packed in the mouth Of the
tunnel. After dinner the two men
started to work. Their names were
TONY WISE AND CT ENC MARTIN,
also another named Bob Benille, work.
ing above. Before they started, Nick
Tredinnick, the foreman of the mine,
told them that he thought it was dan
gerous to work more; but nevertheless
they went out and commenced working,
but were out hardly ten minutes, before
Nick Tredinnick went out to tell them to
stop work for that day, when, as he was
coming up the trail amongst the timber,
he saw a large snow slide coming. The
two men working neal the tunnel could
not see it, and had they done 80, they
could not have gotten out of its reach, or
into the tunnel. Bob Benille was over
head and had just time to drop in the
face of the tunnel, but was afterwards
found to be covered up to his neck in
snow, while Nick Tredinnick was carried
some seventy-five feet, but managed to
catch on the
IN OF A lei
and hold on. The other two boys, Clar
ence Martin and Tony Wise, were car
ried down, and all efforts for the past
four days have proved useless, to find
their bodies. 1t is not likely they can
be recovered till next summer, m
time in June; as at present there are
some forty or fifty feet of snow along
where the snow slide stopped. The
slide was half a mile wide and went a
mile down the mountain, 10 n can see
now hard a task it is to recover the
bodies. The snow is packed solid, and
the men have to put their foot On the
shovel to take the now away. it is nc
doubt one Of the biggest snow slides this
country has ever had.
We are having a very severe winter,
moro SNOW on the ground around the
town than We had all last winter. The
snow lays on'the level in town some four
feet. One cannot go anywhere without
snowshoes.
Six more months of winter, then
hurrah for the Cooke City boom.

We publish this week. from the indie
pendent, an article upon railroads, that
is strongly i~mpregnated with facts of an

all interested in our growth. Not much
has yet been said to give Bozeman and
the Gallatin valley a rosy hue of pros.
pective brightness, yet u people are
happy over the good fortune of the capl"
tai, and the indirect benefit that must
fall to our lot. If we cannot have the
loaf, the crumbs are acceptable, and our
manifest advantages of resources and
location, may yet overcome our lack of
concentrated wealth and enterprise, and
bestow upon us a railroed from the west.

York and found himself famous one day
last week. The night before he had de.
livered an address at the New England
Society dinner, and the publication of
this address gave the Southern editor
widespread popularity. His speech was
indeed an admirable disquisition on the
"New South" He told of its former
~prejudices and of its present needs and
present advancement under new meth

pursuits. His speech brought him into
